Space Alien

If the praying mantis were six feet tall, what an incredible space alien it would make.

It's a well-equipped predator, with keen eyesight, a rotating head, and two spiked forelegs that grab and grasp unsuspecting prey. It's not about "who's coming to dinner"; it's "what's coming to dinner."

Plus, it appears to "pray" before dinner. How disconcerting to the prey.
